DM,

I have somwhat similar reaction to the opening Introductions; however, I have both likes and dislikes:

- I Like the lights dimming
- I Like the video clip, its cool, and I think players/recruits must like it too.
- I do not like that it takes so long from the lights dimming to the actual introductions.
- The music is OK, but its not standard Hoop Music. Does not get me pumped for hoops. The standard Jock Jams stuff would be more appropriate. I know I am an old fart, but back in my day, they played When The Saints (Stags) come Marching in..... that was not a hip song then either, but it was Basketball music. I am NOT REMOMMENDING When The Saints (Stags) come Marching in as the music, but some standard Hoop music from Jock Jams would be better.

But a bigger concern of mine is that fans do not stand up during introductions, Good plays, or Senior awards. For some reason people do not want to stand up. I used to during introductions, but got very little support (goes to show how apathy can be contagious). I would recommend that the announcer says after the lights dim...... "Will everyone please rise (pause) and great you Fairfield Stags".

I would also recommend that we always have a singer do the National Anthem..... I appreciate a good performance. And I would also give some thought to starting a tradition and have the person sing God Bless America..... instead of the National Anthem.

All due respects GOSTAGS - I find this dimming of the lights with Queen playing atrocious. This is not NBA basketball. Question, do they pull this nonsense at the final four? I don't think so. In addition, if I was a player, I would want my name called out, position, number, year with the lights on and in a professional manner. I am begging TOT to ban these "bells and whistles" and announce the players with some class. Jesus Christ, you think we were UNLV in the old days.
